In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

This time I was truly dumbfounded.

Fang Denggao, as the third-in-command of the provincial government, was completely different from Li Dakang and Yang Wanli. He was Lin Zhiyuan's regular assistant in daily work, and it was he who stepped forward this time.

quack!

Sha Ruijin took a sip of tea and smiled.

Lin Zhiyuan, you're so domineering. Do you really think everyone has to obey you? They could turn against me yesterday, and they'll turn against you today. What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't speak, he just stared intently, as if he wanted to kill him.

"Therefore, I recommend Comrade Li Chunfang."

Fang Denggao smiled shyly, but there was nothing he could do. His old subordinates had come to him for help. Whether it would work out was one thing, but whether he should lend a hand in public was another.

and…

The matter was accomplished in secrecy.

He will not and cannot reveal a single word about the nominee until today is chosen.

Therefore, only Wu Chunlin knew that it was he who recommended him.

No one else knew.

Hey!

With Li Dakang and Yang Wanli already there, I think Executive Director Lin will be able to forgive him, right?

Only one person was confused.

No!

Tian Guofu stared in disbelief at Yang Wanli, then at Fang Denggao. "Aren't you two in cahoots with Lin Zhiyuan?"

and also…

You've already used up all the words, what am I supposed to say!

"Oh, does an outstanding prosecutor have to stay a prosecutor for life?"

Lin Zhiyuan crossed his arms and glanced at Yang Wanli first. "Secretary Wanli, you graduated with a degree in literature and write excellent articles, but I haven't seen you delve into literary creation or take a position in the Writers' Association?"

That's right...

Yang Wanli, that big brown bear, you can't judge a book by its cover. He majored in literature in college, and I heard that his romantic prose style captivated the female students back then.

Huh?

Many members of the Standing Committee glanced at the person; they had naturally seen the person's resume, but few paid much attention to their university major.

"Academic expertise is academic expertise, and work is work."

Yang Wanli blushed deeply, as his dark past was brought up again.

"oh!"

Lin Zhiyuan drawled, "After entering the system, Secretary Wanli started in the secretariat and continued his career there. Later, he was selected by the Secretary of the Heihe Provincial Party Committee as a full-time secretary, working there for almost ten years. Why did he later become the Party Secretary of a certain county?"

"Did Secretary Wan Li have any local management experience before being sent down to the countryside? Why didn't he choose to continue his studies in the Secretariat?"

Are you strict with others but lenient with yourself? Or do you feel that there's no future in being a secretary and look down on secretaries?

Nima!

Yang Wanli almost stood up again. All he had said was, "Why are you digging up my secrets?"

Am I the only secretary in the entire conference room?

Who looks down on secretaries anymore?

Hey Lin, don't spout nonsense.

What a coward!

Lin Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and mouthed a silent gesture, realizing that he could only bully Li Dakang, this weakling.

"Climb up to Governor Gao!"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the next person, "There's nothing wrong with mentoring newcomers and having newcomers supervise the old, but I don't think Comrade Li Chunfang is suitable to be nominated this time. He has been the secretary of the Xinling District Committee for many years, and the headquarters of the Xinling Chamber of Commerce is located in the High-tech Zone. The fact that no illegal or disciplinary violations of his have been found does not mean that he is without problems. At the very least, there has been a dereliction of duty in his supervision."

"Such a cadre, mentoring newcomers..."

"I'm afraid they'll be led astray."

"They only learn bad habits and evil ways."

"Governor Zhiyuan, watch your word choice."

Liu Changsheng called for a halt again, tapping the table with his finger, "Don't make hasty judgments about cadres in this kind of setting; it has a bad influence."

If this kind of talk gets out...

That can really ruin an official.

"Governor, I apologize!"

Lin Zhiyuan realized he had lost his temper and, having said that, stood up and apologized.

But there were two traitors who were even more panicked.

Fang Denggao was only focused on making recommendations, while Wu Chunlin was sweating profusely. He hadn't even considered such a crucial issue when reviewing the candidates, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

Governor Liu waved for people to sit down, but his temples were throbbing and he had a headache!

The provincial government faction may seem strong and well-equipped, but it's just a group of energetic guys, all high achievers. Everyone has their own agenda, and after the initial honeymoon period, conflicts will inevitably arise due to differing ideologies.

He was really afraid that he would leave.

This group became completely disorganized and no longer needed Sha Ruijin's checks and balances or Tian Guofu's supervision.

His gaze swept over.

Lin Zhiyuan and the three troublemakers need no further introduction. Wen Yiyan is also a handful. Looking at the whole group, it seems that Pan Lin is the most well-behaved.

But he didn't notice...

The moment his gaze returned.

Pan Lin quickly lowered her head; well, she also had a large family to support.

But Lin Zhiyuan is such a bastard…

After dropping a bombshell and a Han Chao, it seems they completely forgot about the publicity department.

Everyone, human or ghost, is showing off.

Only the propaganda department is stuck like a block of wood, either cleaning up messes or on its way to clean up messes.

At least Tong Li managed to establish a clean and honest Handong!

If you don't try to make your presence felt, then you're not going to.

How can we make people clearly aware that Pan Lin is still present at the Standing Committee meeting? But for now, we can't rush it.

In case of causing trouble...

whee!

Executive Director Lin, you absolutely have to cover for me!

"Comrade Li Chunfang's current situation is indeed not suitable for this round of nominations."

Having watched the spectacle unfold, Sha Ruijin took over the reins at the meeting and immediately eliminated one of the candidates.

In fact, he also wanted to reject Hou Liangping because of the huge difference in reputation, but in the end, considering Lin Zhiyuan and the Zhong family, he did not dare to say it was a no-go. Besides, he himself had said that he would give Hou Liangping a key position.

"Since there is too much disagreement among everyone regarding the candidate for executive vice mayor, why not postpone it and decide on other candidates first, so as not to delay the overall work because of one issue."

Sha Ruijin's gaze remained fixed on Lin Zhiyuan's face, observing his reaction. Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan's anger had subsided and that he was the one who had smashed the table earlier, Sha Ruijin gritted his teeth and intensified his efforts, saying, "If we still can't reach a conclusion in the end, then I'll trouble Minister Chunlin and the organization department to prepare a new batch of nominated candidates."

I don't want any of them!

Hou Liangping was recommended by Lin Zhiyuan, and Liu Xiaomin was recommended by Yang Wanli; neither of them had any of his connections.

We can take advantage of this time difference.

He wanted to meet with suitable candidates to participate in the next round of competition, which is why he let Hou Liangping pass the test in the five-person group meeting.

He knew it…

Lin Zhiyuan was bound to cause trouble with Yang Wanli, and sure enough, he wasn't disappointed.

Hey!

These are all techniques he learned from Secretary Shen to suppress Lin Zhiyuan. I didn't object, Lin Zhiyuan. It's just that you and Hou Liangping are incompetent.

But the words were barely out of his mouth.

Lin Zhiyuan still showed no signs of anxiety; instead, he frequently raised his hand to check his watch.

It seems like something important is about to happen.

Ok?

Sha Ruijin's heart skipped a beat. He tried to reassure himself that maybe the other person just needed to pee.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the conference room door.
